Great ambiance

This hotel was well situated in West Hollywood with good access for getting around LA. The free parking was a fantastic bonus considering the cost of parking in LA. The photos of LA's past created a nice atmosphere.

No Frills but worth the price

This hotel isn't loaded with frills and the bed isn't all that comfortable but it's a great value based on it's location and price. It's clean just hasn't been updated in a long time.

Great Location, Great People

The first thing I notice online was that it was cheap. I took a gamble and I was very glad I did. Built in the 1920's the Historic Hollywood is a living part of history with a quaint charm. However all the amenities are up to date, the staff is wonderful and the location is perfect for exploring all that Hollywood has to offer. If you aren't up for the walking, just get a bus pass. The bus stop is literally right out front.

Fantastic LA weekend

The hotel was clean and conveniently located and there was always parking in the parking lot. No amenities except for some vending machines and the hotel is old, but I think that's what I liked about it. I was disappointed by the nightlife in the area, as it is supposed to be an up and coming area for that sort of thing, or at least according to the kid at the front desk it is, but walking and driving all around the area one night led us nowhere. During the day, though, it's convenient to everything and there is good shopping up and down the strip there.

All that I expected

My daughter and I enjoyed our 4 day stay at the hotel and will definitely stay again if ever I visited LA. It was everything I expected.
